Dr. Paola Campos has mostly examined risk and protective factors for child malnutrition, including childhood obesity and stunting, and the impact of the social determinants of health on health disparities among underserved populations. Her current research interests have been shaped by a gradual evolution of professional experiences from diverse clinic- and community-based research projects in Mexico, Guatemala, and the U.S. A more recent area of her research focuses on adapting and testing a parenting intervention to prevent childhood obesity among Hispanic families.
